India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is currently facing a lot of criticism after he decided to participate in only three Tests of the five-match series against England to manage his workload. Bumrah played the first, third and fourth Test matches of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, where he managed to pick 14 wickets.
The pace spearhead has now been included in India's squad for the Asia Cup, which will start from September 9. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) addressed Bumrah's availability for the mega event, considering his workload and past injuries
"I don't think there's any written plan. Been a nice break after the England series. Physios, team management has been in touch. Clearly we want him available for all the big games. There are World Cups, Champions Trophy, big series like England, Australia - you want him available. Because he's picked up injuries over the last 2-3 years, because of how special and unique it is - it won't change. Based on how he's feeling and how we require him, we hope he's available more often than not" said Agarkar on Jasprit Bumrah.
Jasprit Bumrah will lead the pace attack in the Asia Cup alongside Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh. Team India placed in Group A, will start their Asia Cup 2025 campaign against the UAE on September 10. The high-voltage clash between India and Pakistan will take place on September 14 at the same venue.
India's Asia Cup 2025 squad: Surya Kumar Yadav (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (WK), Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh
